Heh. Via the Sacramento Bee: The look on Obama’s face as he looks at Biden is intriguing. Gotta wonder what he’s thinking there. And for extra laughs from the VP on a day where conservatives weren’t laughing much at all, there is this: “I’m proud to be president of the United States, but I am [...]

 

#MSDNC’s Tingles Matthews compares #Inaug2013 speech to … Gettysburg Address

Posted by: ST on January 21, 2013 at 6:00 pm » 2 Comments

This about sum’s up the nauseating tone of the fawning MSM coverage of our celebrity President’s second (and thank goodness – LAST) inaugural address today (via Eliana Johnson at NRO): Barack Obama is perhaps the only modern president who has had the burden of swatting away comparisons between his own soaring rhetoric and that of [...]

Via MyFox Detroit: DETROIT (WJBK) — The city of Detroit faces a major financial crisis and one member of city council thinks President Barack Obama should step in and help.

Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. tells Boehner he is resigning from Congress

Posted by: ST on November 21, 2012 at 3:24 pm » 10 Comments

And conveniently he does so two weeks after the election: Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) submitted a letter announcing his resignation from Congress to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday, according to a Boehner aide. “For seventeen years I have given 100 percent of my time, energy, and life to public service,” Jackson wrote. “However, [...]

You’ve probably already seen this, but in case you hadn’t, Rep.

Posted by: Phineas on November 18, 2012 at 2:39 pm » 11 Comments

**Posted by Phineas From Florida, where Rep. Allen West is waging a battle to get a recount in St. Lucie county: Just as background, one precinct has 7 voters registered and yet recorded about 900 votes. That’s a 13,000 percent turnout.
